Boris Pavlovic 2f4555be27 Rephrase docs call things properly
In a lot of placeses we are using word "benchmark" which
can mean workload, subtask, or test case which is very confusing.

This patch partially address wrong usage of "benchamrk" word

==========================================
Support testing clouds that are using LDAP
==========================================
Use Case
--------
A lot of production clouds are using LDAP with read only access. It means
that load can be generated only by existing in system users and there is no
admin access.
Problem Description
-------------------
Rally is using admin access to create temporary users that will be used to
produce load.
Possible Solution
-----------------
* Add some way to pass already existing users
Current Solution
----------------
* Add ability to specify existing users in the *ExistingCloud* plugin config
* When such an *ExistingCloud* deployment is active, and the task file does not
specify the *"users"* context, use the existing users instead of creating the
temporary ones.
* Modify the *rally show* commands to list resources for each user separately.
